You get to put a cool number in your signature and the right to lament the direction of the REA... Not to mention the news letters , which are nice.. Also, it is an organisation that any every member has as much input and affect on its direction as they feel they want. A rare thing in this day and age..

I posted a long time ago (about four posts up from this one, LOL) about waiting to see what it becomes. I think it died about the time I bought my membership, because I never received a patch or info or anything. c'est la vie
